Question
Can we have a single north pole, or a single south pole?

Solution
No, we cannot have a single north or south pole. Magnetic poles are always found in pairs. They are equal in strength and opposite in nature. Even if we break a magnet into a number of pieces, each piece will become a magnet with equal and opposite poles.
